... Surface lattice oxygen is crucial to the degradation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) over transition metal oxides according to the Mars–van Krevelen mechanism. Herein, λ-MnO₂ in situ grown on the surface of CoMn spinel was prepared by acid etching of corresponding spinel catalysts (CoMn-Hx-Ty) for VOC oxidation. Experimental and relevant theoretical exploration revealed that acid etching on t ...

Abstract:
... Dongli, or frozen pear, is a traditional Chinese snack with a unique flavor. This study identified the aroma-active volatile compounds (VOCs) in Dongli using quantitative descriptive analysis (QDA), gas chromatography-triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS), and gas chromatography-olfactometry (GC-O). QDA indicated that Dongli of all cultivars presented increased sweet and wine aroma ...

The gene coding esterase from B. subtilis E9 was amplified using esterase-specific primers and the sequence was translated in silico. The presence of conserved catalytic triad amino acid residues (His-Ser-Asp/Glu) confirmed the functional nature of the esterase enzyme. Docking studies conducted with modeled protein and t ...

... The essential oil composition of the shoot parts of Prangos pabularia, growing in Drass area of Ladakh, India, along with its antioxidant, antibacterial and anticancer activity, is reported for the first time. Gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS) revealed the presence of 31 constituents, representing 97.342% of the total essential oil. The major constituents of essential oil w ...
... Efficient bioconversion of abundant waste glycerol to value-added chemicals calls for a wider range of fermentative workhorses that can catabolize glycerol. In this study, we used quantitative gene expression and solvent profiling, qualitative metabolite analysis, and enzyme activity assays to investigate the factors that limit glycerol utilization as a sole carbon source by Clostridium beijerinck ...
... In this work, mechanism and conformation changes of cellulose regenerated from the ionic liquid by anti-solvents (water, ethanol and acetone) were investigated by molecular dynamics simulation. To explore the regeneration mechanism, a cellulose model with seven glucose chains was constructed, both the dissolution and regeneration processes of cellulose in N-butyl pyridinium acetate ([Bpy][OAc]) we ...

Abstract:
... Infestations of termites in agricultural fields as well as in domestic and industrial areas have been one of the major problems incurring a great economic loss since long. Chemical pesticides are being used to prevent the devastating action of termites which are deterrent for termites but concomitantly hazardous for health, damage ecological cycles and are perdurable in nature for long. In search ...
... Environmental H₂O is an influential factor in the low-temperature catalytic oxidation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and it significantly impacts the reaction process and mechanism. Here, a series of rod-like Cu-Mn oxides were synthesised by pyrolysing Cu/Mn-BTC for acetone oxidation. The results confirm that the formation of multiphase interfaces have more excellent catalytic performance c ...

Abstract:
... Aromatic esterases from the red palm weevil; Rynchophorus ferrugineus 5th instar larvae were partially fractionated using differential centrifugation technique to study some enzyme properties and possible use of some inorganic salts as enzyme inhibitors hoping for future use in the field of pest control. Cytosol soluble fraction contained most of esterases activity. Esterases catalysis was activat ...
... The esterase gene from Bacillus subtilis E9 was expressed in E. coli BL21 (DE3) using the pTAC Bs-est recombinant plasmid and the enzyme was purified to determine its biocatalytic ability on the natural ester, linalyl acetate. The substrate affinity of the esterase enzyme was confirmed through docking studies on the interaction between the modelled esterase protein with the ligand. Recombinant est ...
... Ptaeroxylon obliquum (Thunb.) Radlk, sneezewood, is a commonly used medicinal plant in South Africa for the treatment of parasitic infections in animals, tuberculosis (TB) and related symptoms, and other microbial infections.In this study anthelmintic, antifungal, antimycobacterial, larvicidal and cytotoxic activities of the acetone leaf extract of P. obliquum, solvent-solvent derived fractions of ...
... Growing use of recalcitrant fuel oxygenates like methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), ethyl tert-butyl ether (ETBE), tert-amyl methyl ether (TAME), and diisopropyl ether (DIPE) poses serious threat to aquatic environments and drinking water sources. Mycolicibacterium sp. strain CH28 was isolated earlier as a potential degrader of DIPE. Optimal culture conditions for strain CH28 were determined to be 32 ...
... Acetone is currently produced by large amount of propylene and benzene, and its synthesis from a cheap and non-petroleum material has not yet been reported. Here, we present a new method for acetone production, which involves the carbonylation of dimethyl ether (DME) to methyl acetate and its subsequent ketonization to acetone over pyridine-modified H-mordenite. This convenient approach offers an ...

Abstract:
... Colloidal lead-halide perovskite nanocrystals (LHP NCs) have emerged over the past decade as leading candidates for efficient next-generation optoelectronic devices, but their properties and performance critically depend on how they are purified. While antisolvents are widely used for purification, a detailed understanding of how the polarity of the antisolvent influences the surface chemistry and ...
